DIY Instructions-How to Install an Automatic Ice Maker in Your Refrigera...

How to Install and Automatic Ice Maker. This installation was for a Frigidaire brand. IMEZC000 model. Automatic Ice Maker Installation kit. After unboxing the ice maker, you'll notice that there is an electrical connector that needs to be hooked up. Keep that in mind. The ice maker will need an on demand water supply so you'll need to run a water line to the fridge. Almost all models nowadays have a standard hook up in the back of the fridge for this. When I did this, I removed the thread protectors from the fridge connection and used teflon tape around the threads. Then I hooked up the hose, turned on the water and checked for leaks. In this video you'll notice my incoming water valve demonstrates some leaking while operating the valve. Once it's either in the fully open or fully closed position, the leak stops. I did end up replacing this valve just for the purposes of upgrading it and made another video on it as well. After the water connection at the fridge was satisfactorily checked for water leaks, I pushed the fridge back into it's spot. Now it's time to mount the ice maker. The electrical connections are uncovered inside the the freezer. There are some plastic screw hole protectors in the side of the freezer that need to be removed to allow for the mounting screws to be inserted. Then I inserted the mounting screws that come with the ice making kit. Don't screw them in all the way. Pull out your ice maker and plug the electrical connection into the receptacle in the freezer. Also there is a plastic ice slide that needs to be installed as shown in the video. After plugging in the electrical connection I hung the ice maker onto the mounting screws and then drove them in all the way to secure it to the side wall of the freezer. I then plugged the fridge back in had ice in no time flat. This ice maker installation was so easy.

How to make a Pallet Wood Trash Can

This pallet wood trashcan project was super fun to make. The beauty of making pallet projects is that you can totally goof them up, which I have, and you aren't out of a bunch of money. It really puts the fun fun factor back into wood working and takes the pressure off. Not only are these great from a practical standpoint but they make really good gifts as well. Each one is guaranteed to turn out unique.
In order to properly obtain your raw materials you will need a simple set of tools for pulling the boards apart and extracting the nails. My favorite two tools to use is a hammer and a crow bar. I use a Cobalt brand one. Here's a link to the type of hammer and crow bar I use for this task.

I also used a brad nailer and compressor. This makes it nice you can "tack" your pieces together with one hand while holding them with the other. The drawback is that you need to make sure you are shooting your brad nails nice and straight so they don't go through your thumb and also so they don't protrude from the wood.
